In my dreams, If I am not sewing, I am trying to find a way to bring my new fabric stashes into the house. you see i hide them in my car...in various places....until the coast is clear and i can bring them in. then i have to find room in our room to store the fabric. you see it is very complicated since I store the majority of my fabric in our closet...which my husband uses everyday. so I have to move the old fabric to the front and the new fabric to the back and i cant change things too much on his side or he will say something. so yes, i dream about how to bring my new fabric finds into the house...sad but true.

In my dreams, if not sewing, I would be hiking in a national park, I have visited just a few and there are so many. My favorite hike was the one in Glacier National Park that left from the visitor center at the Continental Divide and I think that I would like to go back.

In my dreams, if I'm not sewing... I'm chasing stupid cows! We have a few animals 16 cows and then some chickens...seems my subconcious fear is loose cows. In reality I have had to chase down a few...living on a highway, I have a constant dread of them causing an accident and killing someone. So much for waking refreshed and ready for a new day....I'm stressed and tired out!

In my dreams if I am not sewing I am someplace warm in winter. Can you tell I'm not looking forward to winter already? Since we have hardly had a summer this year winter seems to be looming on the horizon.

In my dreams, if I'm not sewing, I'm living in an immaculate house with a yard that is mown and doesn't need weed-eating (yuck!),and I'm done with my daily exercise by 7 AM! Since we're allowed to dream, I'd dream about winning the string scraps since I want to make a string quilt!

In my dreams, if I am not sewing, I am buying fabric. Lots and lots of fabric. With someone elses money. While driving cross country. To visit quilt shops in every state. I've always wanted to make a quilt with fabric purchased in every state.

In my dreams, if I am not sewing, I'd be running a bed and breakfast complete with chef and maid, with a craft store downstairs, have 3 kids (2 boys and 1 girl), 2 dogs, end world hunger and war. I am dreaming right?!?

Ahhh, when I'm not sewing, I am jet setting around the world with handsome young men at my feet. They are all scampering for my attention!! I'm pampered with the best. As I lounge in my private quarters, grapes are peeled and fed to me by these "hunks". Baubles, expensive fabrics and other treasures are brought to me for my perusal...

(Yes, it's a fantasy world, isn't it!! If I'm going to do a fairy tale, I'm going to do it right!)

In my dreams, if I am not sewing, I'm creating a wonderful new fabric line. I am in love with fabric and can't stop thinking (and dreaming) about it...would love to create my own line of fabrics!Thanks for the chance at your lovely bag and strings!JennyKrousegirl2 at aol dot com

In my dreams if I'm not sewing, I'm designing the biggest quilt going up the side of the Empire State Building, No the Chrysler building, and worrying about all the platforms I need to build and how I'm going to get my sewing machine up the side, always designing in my dreams, always. Not sewing just designing.

if I"m not sewing ... I'm quilting while I sit on a verandah in Rivendell (a la the recent Lord of the Rings movies). Beautiful art, fresh air and leaves for the spirit, a needle and thread for the heart. Happy sighes!!

In my dreams, if I am not sewing, I am designing a custom walk in closet for all my fabric! Lovely little pull out drawers for the smallest of scraps, lots of shelves...best lighting and if Im really sound asleep, a nice big design wall!Thanks for the chance!Brinablrohloff at aol dot com

In my dreams if I am not sewing I am busy with my Traveling House on wheels touring the country and every quilt shop in every town I visit. Of course while in the quilt shops I most difinately must buy more fabric because there is never enough. Love the bag and your blog is great to. I came by way of the Quilting Daze site. I will become a follower and post the bag on my blog.

In my dreams, if I am not sewing, I am travelling around in the States visiting all those American Quilt Shops along the way and at each stop my husband would encourage me to stay a little longer and buy some more fabrics! (Well that truly is a dream!!!!)

I'd LOVE to win that beautiful bag of yours and of course I am a follower of your great blog!

OK, this better not get back to my family because they will think I am trying to escape them and I am not...

In my dreams, when I am not sewing, I am designing a little 2-room cottage just for me. A great two-sided fireplace separates the kitchen/living/dining room from the bedroom. It is a small place that is easy to keep clean and organized with built-in just about everything. There is a front porch with rockers and a balcony off my bedroom in the back that looks out over a little pond and my abundant bug- and weed-free garden. My cat and dog are best buddies, don't shed, and follow me everywhere. Down the lane, closer to the main road, is a quaint old log cabin, rustic but updated, where my twin sister and I run our cottage business. She is a knitter, and I am a quilter, and we have a joint studio and a showroom where we sell our creations, mostly stuff for tots - sweaters, quilts, hats, booties, etc. Life is great. Somehow all the cleaning gets done without me, and the bills get paid without me, and the groceries get bought without me. It is a dream, after all...

In my dreams, If I am not sewing, I am: Thin & thirty running thru a park preparing for my next 5K. OK, that was a hallucination; I flunked PE! Only running I have ever done was after my boys 30 years ago when they were toddlers.

In my dreams I have a lovely studio to work in. Since James is getting married next year I have plans to make the dream come true...I just have to fight Roger for it since he collects toy trains and sees the room as his perfect place for a Lionel train layout. I'm working out and I think I can take him!I'll mention this on the blog later.

...I'm sitting on a beach in an Adirondack chair (with footrest, of course) being served claorie free "girlie" umbrella drinks by a cabana boy, played by Johnny Depp, of course. He's VERY attentive. ;->

In my dreams, if I'm not sewing I'm dancing along the light of day, dipping my toes in emerald ponds and tasting the edge of the atmosphere, while listening to the magical sound of my children laughing.Or maybe, if it's been a long day, I'm dreaming of taking a nap on a sunny shore with sand between my toes, and children playing nearby.Cheers,Dionneps - also a follower!

In my dreams, if I'm not sewing, I've met a wonderful, extrememly rich man, who greatly admires my quilting skills and abilities, so he goes and buys everything I could want and sets me up in the most beautiful house, with the largest and most organized quilting room imaginable!!

I have a number of the latest most innovative machines, a long-arm quilting machine and table.

All the fabric, wadding and thread I could want. Add to that all the beads, buttons and other wonderful emblishments we need for all our crafting.

Then all the wool and yarn for knitting and crocheting.

Then to finish off, all the wonderful x-stitch patterns, linen and thread to live a wonderful life as a "hermit" in my mansion, while he goes to work to pay for it all!!!

In my dreams, if I am not sewing, I am reading.....in reality I am cleaning the kitchen or washing the unending pile of laundry my children seem to generate...sometimes though I think it grows on its on overnight.

I am dreaming about the little farm my sister and I are going to buy someday, dragging our hubbies to rural living and letting the kids run wild, making jam together, raising chickens (me) and goats (her) and maybe even swimming in the canal like we used to at my Grandma's. How's that for a NY-er dream???

If I am not sewing, I'm reaaaaalllly sick!!! So I'm going to improvise and say in my dreams I'm sewing with the new bernina 830! And have a long arm machine. And my own brick studio with ivy and vintage windows. And an arboretum with birdies that sing good morning while I drink my coffee wearing the dress I made from curtains like in that one movie I cannot remember the name of! (oh, I remember, it's Enchanted!)

In my dreams, If I am not sewing, I am trying to convince my husband to take up quilting as a hobby, so we can actually SEE each other. Maybe then he would understand my obsession with it :-) To me, this would be a dream! To him, it may be more of a nightmare.....?

in my dreams, if i am not sewing, I am buying the fabric, washing the fabric, ironing the fabric, choosing thread to match the quilt I am GOING to sew when i wake up. I am also choosing the pattern, talking to my friends about quilting, and getting my sewing machine TUNED UP!
